That's weird. I had some kernel panics which were related to a bug in the threadlib, but nothing else. Do you use IDE disks? I seem to remember there were problems with the U10s onboard IDE controller, I use it only for the CDROM, everything else is UW-SCSI.

Everything, at least once, because of dependencies...

Somehow I doubt it's gcc - I've never had any problems with it. If it was a software bug it would bite me (and a bunch of others) too...

It will compile without the patch, but the keyboard won't work.
